YiHi's Latest Flagship Device

The upcoming SXmini G+ Class is the latest flagship device from YiHi. This time around, the company aims to spread the word on its SX550J+ chip with this dual-18650 battery 200-watt mod. While previous iterations of YiHi’s SX chips and their corresponding box mods featured expected, incremental upgrades, the new chip and new mod are quite different from the rest of the family. Here’s a look at the YiHi SXmini G+ Class.

Great Performance Expected, Great Looks....

On the chip side, the SXmini G+ Class’ SX550J+ features a whole new user interface. Instead of sifting through menus with the firing button and the +/- buttons, there’s a joystick (more like a console controller d-pad, really) control. Additionally, controls can be set through a companion app that works with Android and iOS devices over Bluetooth. Best of all, the TFT IPS display lets you see everything in multiple colors, instead of a monochromatic display.

On the device side, the SXmini G+ Class eschews the design language of its forerunners. I’m a big fan of the smooth curves of the previous SXmini devices and don’t really like the new look. Hopefully the lines look much better in person than they do in marketing photos. Having said that, the lattice finish just looks…no. It reminds of me of when Sony overused the Spider-Man 2 font across several of its products. While it could look better in real life, I would bet on the lattice model having tragic aesthetics.

I'm confident that the SXmini G+ Class will be a great performer.

With every SXmini box mod, I’ve come to expect greatness from YiHi. I’m confident that the SXmini G+ Class will be a great performer. The company has consistently made some of the best chips for vaping devices and I fully expect another winner with the SX500J+.

That said, I’m not yet sold on the design decisions the company has made with its upcoming box mod. Hopefully those concerns are unwarranted, but I’ve set my design expectations low for the mod. The marketing photos scream “iStick” to me, which would be fine if the SXmini G+ Class were a sub-$100 device and not a $299.99 (pre-order price) box mod.

What do you think of the new looks of YiHi’s flagship mod? Any of you anxious to buy one? Please leave a comment below with your thoughts on YiHi’s SX550J+ wonder.

Its true, and to each their own.
I just bought 3 variants of the Flask SX 350J V1s at $269 per. Flasks are quality products, and you can’t put a price on quality.

It’s a BETTER Yihi and that only means amazing quality and performance. I have 2 of each SX model and the Flasks, and three Q’s along with the VRSX and 2 custom Signature and Mumm, you PAY for quality, and I think this chip is going to be wonderful.

I don’t doubt that the chip will be wonderful. I just wish the mod used similar design language as its predecessors. The Q is one of my favorite devices this year and I’d love for its successor to look similar.

I checked with a couple of vendors and they’re expecting something in October, though the dates have changed for them several times already.

I was super excited for this mod. Now I’m just super excited for the chip. It’s unfortunate that it’s debuting in that unappealing encasing. I’ve been saving up for this mod. Now I’m not sure I want to spend the money on this one, or just wait for the chip to be featured in a much more appealing box. Nevertheless, this chip should be a game changer, and I can’t wait to play with it.
